Research

FSU's Language and Cognitive Development Lab studies language learning and development using behavioral, electrophysiological and eye-tracking techniques. Broadly speaking, our lab is interested in studying how we use our world experience and knowledge to learn language. Some recent topics of research have included:
​

• How do individual differences in ability and experience affect the way we understand and learn  language?
• How do children interpret sentences in everyday and novel situations?
• How do we learn words during reading and speech?
• How do our brains rapidly learn new words?
